We firstly speak to Dr. Robert Gallo, co-founder of the Global Virus Network, director of the Institute of Human Virology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. He discusses the similarities between HIV and the coronavirus and why it always meant ‘herd immunity’ would be a futile endeavor, why the Oxford Covid-19 vaccine is promising compared to other vaccines, the importance of a vaccine focusing on the T-cell instead of the spike, why a Polio vaccine could massively reduce coronavirus mortality rates as we search for a specific coronavirus vaccine and more! Next, we speak to consultant editor of the Daily Mail Andrew Pierce about the newly-released Russia Report in the UK. He discusses how the report didn’t live up to many people’s expectations regarding Russian influence in the Brexit referendum, why the report was suppressed and wasn’t released earlier, why the new committee chairman, Julian Lewis, may aim to be a thorn in the side of Boris Johnson, allegations by the UK press that Jeremy Corbyn was Russia’s ‘useful idiot’ and why it was ultimately proven false, the Conservative Party voting down an amendment to protect the NHS from being up for sale in a US trade deal, worsening UK-China relations and more!
Finally, Going Underground’s social media producer, Farhaan Ahmed, speaks to fashion icon and activist Vivienne Westwood about the persecution of Julian Assange by the US, which seeks to extradite and jail the WikiLeaks founder for 175 years. She discusses her stunt outside the Old Bailey, where she got into a giant bird cage in support of Julian Assange, what it means and allegations that Assange is a Russian agent.
